The "smile" in Idaho's Snake River plain is the path the Yellowstone Caldera has taken over the past few million years. We're in the Caldera and could experience a big 'un any time -- we get smaller ones all the time. There was a fairly large one, the Borah Quake, in I think it was 1982 that caused land shifting and sinking about 70 miles north of here.
